trawled thru sites i use for marriage cant find it, checked all shaftesbury parishes and the gillingham one just in case , but that does not mean its not there.
think susannah's parents are probably henry snook and ann gillard who married 22/04/1805, gillingham.
try posting the marriage on dorset ancestors site , they might help.
good luck

NB. Henry and Harry are very interchangeable names - most folks known as Harry have the given name Henry

The births of Henry and James seem to be on freeBDM (although there were two possibilities for Henry I think). I couldn't see the marriage in the civil register (started July 1837) so your 1836 date seems most likely. The transcripts from Shaftesbury on the Dorset opc page says the parish registers/BTs are not in good condition & there are many missing.

When did they come to Australia - should they be on the 1851 census? I couldn't find them.
